a Firm-wide CI Solution with Minimal Resources
Saturday, July 14, 2007
1:30-4:30
With Law Firm Librarians being asked to support marketing and strategic initiatives in their firms,
The majority of formal, dedicated competitive intelligence positions within law firms have been created in the past couple of years, and frequently, librarians have been transitioned into these roles for their firms. These positions largley have no dedicated budget or support staff in place. This workshop is aimed at librarians currently in CI roles in law fims, and will provide the skills and insights necessary to best operate in this challenging role.
For an insignificant price, you'll get:
- Library managers will be on hand to discuss how to sell this to the firm.
- Real live practitioners on hand to share their cool ways of responding to the call within their firms.
- One of the top consultants in the field will discuss what makes a good CI Librarian
- Want a career in law firm CI? Our panel of specialists will give you their tips.

The business of law is changing. As law firms seek to become more profitable in this evolving marketplace, the demand for the competitive information will sky-rocket. This is a unique opportunity for law firm libraries to increase both their visibility and value to the firm. The unique skill sets housed in the library make the library the natural source for research of this important information and packaging it for attorney consumption. Presented as a discussion (similar to last year's Butterfly Effect), this session have law firm leaders discussing how law firm libraries can become integral parts of the firm's CI initiatives.
